Features & Benefits

• Realistic control functions implemented using the Data Acquisition and Control Interface and Four-Quadrant Dynamometer via the LVDAC-EMS software allow for a perfect emulation of hydropower plant setup.
• The course curriculum of the Electric Power Technology Training Program is highly flexible and allows a multitude of different customized training solutions.
• The courseware includes student manuals and instructor guides with all the theory required to perform the hands-on experiments.
• All workstations, modules, and components are sturdy and protected against electrical damage to ensure a prolonged service life in a demanding environment such as a training laboratory.
• The modular design approach of the training equipment allows a large variety of courses to be performed using a small number of modules, without unnecessary duplication of equipment.
• All electrical components can be interconnected without electric shock hazard since all live parts of the connection leads are concealed and insulated.
• All electrical symbols representing the components used in a laboratory exercise are clearly silk-screened on the front panel of the modules.
• The training system includes two highly versatile USB peripherals:
  • Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply, Model 8960-2. This module is used as a solar panel emulator with a large variety of configurable parameters.
  • Data Acquisition and Control Interface, Model 9063. This module gives access to a large variety of computer-based measuring instruments and is used to control the power thyristors bridge that regulates the generator voltage with the AVR. All functions are implemented via the LVDAC-EMS software.
• Software upgrades for LVDAC-EMS and firmware upgrades for the Four-Quadrant Dynamometer/Power Supply and Data Acquisition and Control Interface are available for download free of charge on the Festo Didactic website.
